I am hoping

I hope 

You don't 

Do what 

Others have 

Done to me.

Use me

For what 

You need.

Going to 

Your house,

I know what 

I want

It to look

Like,

But am

Worried

What it 

Could turn

Into.

I am hoping 

You care 

About me.

I am hoping

You see me.

I am hoping

You do

The right

Thing.

I can 

Barely sleep

Cause

I 

Am 

Hoping.

You 

Respect me.

Because after

44 years

I finally

Do.
